My second entry in Atlas Obscura's fascinating new book, Wild Life, is a profile of the world's smallest bird, the bee hummingbird, which lives only in Cuba, where I had the rare good fortune of seeing one myself. (3/3)

My first entry in Atlas Obscura's new Wild Life book is an interview with prairie ecologist Chris Helzer, who spent a year photographing one square meter of Nebraskan prairie. (2/3)

Very happy to have received my contributor copy of this gorgeous book for which I wrote two entries. It's chock-full of interesting stuff about this beautiful, diverse planet that we inhabit. Get it at https://t.co/3kiBxvDTQT or from most booksellers. (1/3)

(2/2) The judges loved this piece for its “great lede, top-notch research & Hipple’s ability to see the topic from all sides: volunteers, soldiers & preservationists. It provides a real ‘you-are-there’ sense throughout even though it occurred 80 years ago in a different America.”

Happy to announce that my Smithsonian article “How the Women of the North Platte Canteen Fed Six Million Soldiers During World War II” has won an Honorable Mention for Best Profile in the 2024 ASJA Writing Awards. See next tweet for the judges' statement. (1/2)

@ieatmypigeon Hi Eva, I'm pondering ideas to pitch for The Specialist, but the e-mail address in your thread doesn't seem to have an @ in it. Should it be eva(dot)sandoval(dot)freelance(at)bbc(dot)com or eva(dot)sandoval(at)freelance(dot)bbc(dot)com? Thanks!

Here's my most recent article for Lonely Planet. I had more places I wanted to include on this list but had to cut ruthlessly to meet the word count. Consider this a starting point, not a definitive list! https://t.co/gjdvkHXoNd #norwaytravel #wheretogoinnorway #scandinaviatravel

@poloconghaile @lonelyplanet I'm working on one of the new titles right now! I think travelers will really like the redesign.
